Yesterday, Premier Baird shared his stance on the lockout laws, saying “Over the coming months a detailed review into the effects of the lock-out laws will be undertaken. I await this work with interest. But as I’ve said before, it is going to take a lot for me to change my mind on a policy that is so clearly improving this city.”

Taking to Facebook to publicly share her opinion on the matter, Wonderland revealed the following letter:

Baird’s comments come after numerous Sydney venues have shut their doors after the lockout laws have reduced foot traffic throughout the city in bid to reduce alcohol related violence.

Well, to be honest, if you cannot attract an audience without first getting them drunk, Alison, you should probably keep your day job. I’m saying that respectfully as a person who has experienced alcohol-related violence first hand. I ended up spending months recovering from facial fractures, broken ribs, smashed teeth, bruising and crushing. Ironically, I was on my way home from a theatre venue on Oxford Street when I had the misfortune at some point, it seems, to have made eye contact with a drunken imbecile who decided to unleash his pent-up frustrations by king-hitting me, stomping on my face with his boots, and kicking my ribs in. I actually don’t remember much about it, so I’m kinda relying on what witnesses told me about the incident and what went into the Police report. But anyway, enough about me. Good luck with your singing career. I’m sure if you are talented enough, your audiences will still come to see you perform even when they’re sober.
